A lorry towing a two-axle trailer encounters this R-112 sign with a 3.5 t panel. Considering only this sign, when does it prohibit entry?

Correct answer

When the trailer’s MAM exceeds 3,500 kg.

The figure limits the prohibition to trailers whose MAM exceeds 3,500 kg. A two-axle trailer with a MAM of exactly 3,500 kg does not exceed the threshold; “exceeds” is different from “equals or exceeds”. Actual load mass or the lorry’s MAM does not replace trailer MAM for this sign. Single-axle trailers are exempt; other restrictions still apply.
